TI reports 1Q14 financial results and shareholder returns

DALLAS, April 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today reported first-quarter revenue of $2.98 billion, net income of $487 million and earnings per share of 44 cents. Results include a gain of $37 million, which was not included in the company's prior outlook and increased earnings by 2 cents per share, for sales of a site and other assets associated with previously announced restructuring actions.

Regarding the company's performance and returns to shareholders, Rich Templeton, TI's chairman, president and CEO, made the following comments:

"Revenue and earnings for the quarter were in the upper half of the range we expected and marked a good start to the year.

"Gross margin of 53.9 percent remained strong and reflects the quality of our Analog and Embedded Processing portfolio and the efficiency of our manufacturing strategy.

"Our business model continues to generate strong cash flow from operations. Free cash flow for the trailing twelve-month period was up 8 percent to $3.1 billion, or 25 percent of revenue. This is consistent with our target of 20-30 percent, which we increased in the first quarter from our prior target of 20-25 percent.

"We returned $4.2 billion to shareholders in the past twelve months through dividends paid and stock repurchases. Our strategy to return to shareholders all free cash flow not needed for debt repayment, and to return proceeds from exercises of equity compensation, reflects our confidence in the long-term sustainability of our business model. In the past twelve months, we returned 99 percent of this targeted amount.

"Our balance sheet remains strong, with $4.0 billion of cash and short-term investments at the end of the quarter, 84 percent of which was owned by the company's U.S. entities. Inventory days were 112, consistent with our model of 105-115 days.

"TI's outlook for the second quarter of 2014 is for revenue in the range of $3.14 billion to $3.40 billion and earnings per share between $0.55 and $0.63. The midpoint of the revenue range would represent 7 percent year-over-year growth, or 13 percent excluding legacy wireless revenue. The annual effective tax rate for 2014 is expected to be about 28 percent, up from our prior estimate of about 27 percent."

As required by accounting rule ASC 260, net income allocated to unvested restricted stock units (RSUs), on which we pay dividend equivalents, is excluded from the calculation of EPS. $7 million is excluded for both the quarters ending March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue increased in all product lines. Power Management and High Performance Analog grew about equally, followed by Silicon Valley Analog and High Volume Analog & Logic.

Operating profit increased from a year ago primarily due to higher revenue and associated gross profit.

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue declined due to legacy wireless products.

Operating profit increased from a year ago due to lower operating expenses, as well as lower restructuring charges/other. These were partially offset by lower gross profit. Restructuring charges/other in the quarter benefited from sales of a site and other assets.

This release includes references to TI's revenue and revenue outlook excluding legacy wireless products. The company believes these measures, which were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), provide investors with insight into TI's underlying business results and are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measure. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure is provided in the tables below.

Free cash flow and associated ratios:

This release also includes references to free cash flow and various ratios based on that measure. These are financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow was calculated by subtracting Capital expenditures from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, Cash flow from operating activities (also referred to as Cash flow from operations). The various ratios in the release compare free cash flow to the following GAAP measures: Revenue, Dividends paid and Stock repurchases.

The company believes these non-GAAP measures provide insight into its liquidity, its cash-generating capability and the amount of cash potentially available to return to investors, as well as insight into its financial performance. These non-GAAP measures are supplemental to the comparable GAAP measures.
